Jamie was limping yesterday; today she is fine - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Yesterday, when I got home in the early afternoon, I noticed that Jamie was holding her left front leg up and wasn't putting any weight on it. Also, she seemed lethargic and didn't want to eat. I checked out her leg and paw thoroughly and didn't see any problems. I thought she probably had strained or sprained it. Today when we woke up, she was fine. It was like nothing happened. Anybody have any ideas about this? Thanks for any feedback.

I'm not sure, maybe she just stepped on something? I only have experience with LP and I think (not at all sure) that it only effects the back legs? I have no idea what caused her to be lethargic and not want to eat.

I'm glad your pup is doing better.

If it reoccurs, you may want to have her seen by your vet. There may be an underlying problem.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I believe LP affects only the back legs. I was wondering if there is anything similar that affects the front legs. Jamie is still doing great. I have no idea what happened to her. I definitely will take her to the vet if it happens again.
